Hotel looks fabulous from outside and also inside bar area. We were so looking forward to staying there having walked past on previous visits to Ludlow. Car parking at hotel was full so had to go elsewhere not too far to walk in the dry. Our room was overlooking the main road and street noise was an issue, also people coming back at 12.30 shouting in the corridor also an issue. On balance wish we hadn’t bothered to stay the night and should have just driven home.

Yea rooms looked inviting but the only option offered was afternoon tea at £35 per person for tea or coffee some small sandwiches and equally small cakes. On top of entry tickets this is just too expensive

Expensive, parked for 75 minutes to have a meal in nearby restaurant and charged nearly £6. Also DONT go in with anything the size of a Mercedes Sprinter- entry is easy but getting out took 10 minutes to avoid scrapping the sides on bollards set at angles that prevent you getting the necessary lock to negotiate the tight turn to the exit barrier. Not an issue in a car, but van drivers or towing a caravan beware

Great little restaurant, really intimate feel. Decoration is fabulous and the food was very tasteful. Staff friendly and attentive. You really forget your on one of the busiest streets. Try the French onion soup.
